Quebec More Serious than
Supposed.

A Halifax IN. s. special says The
British warship Bellerophon, carrying
the flag of Admiral Lyon and which
was ordered to Newfoundland fishing
wators, has arrived here and placed in
the hospital the men injured by the ex-
plOsion of rockets while in Quebec.
4 he extent OF this terrible accident WAS
hushed up in Quebec. lthsppened I'M
der these circumstances
Goyernor-General Lansdowne and
s,sitc were at the old French capital.
On tho evening of September 10th
there was grand entertainment in
Lansdowne's honor on the flagship
BellerOphon. At night tho ironclad
was gorgeOusly illuminated with cleo
tricity, oillamps, and fireworks, and
presented the grandest sight ever wit
messed at historical Quebec. At $3.50
O'clock Pas Lord Lansdowne and party
were leaving for the shore, some six
hundred men of the crew were on
deck, the yards were manned, bands
playing, and there was grand innate
Of explosions.
a pile OF sixty or more of the most
powerful rockets lay on the upper
deck. One of them on being lighted,
instead OF going up in the air exploded
on deck, igniting the pile OF sixty.
The effect was tremendous. In mo-
ment the death-dealing rockets were
sweeping the deck in every direction,
burning, lacerating, and manning the
helpless men. The pieces were flying
up into the rigging and yards and car
rying havoc among the poor fellows
stationed there, and the sticks were
falling among the crowds on shore and
on the French warships Minerye and
Clorinde and other vessels anchored in
the harbOr.
The Quebec papers next morning an
nounced that midshipman and two
men had been injured. The fact was that
nearly forty men had been more or less
injured, thirteen of them, including
Midshipman DOutney, so seriously that
the BellerOphon had TO leave Quebec,
and instead OF going to kewfound-
land, as ordered, she came to Halifax
10 place the men in the naval hospital.
They are terribly burned and lace
rated. Some have the fleshy parts of
their thighs and leg, blown off Others
have the muscles of their arms torn.
The explosion took place about mid
ships, and thus gave a fore and aft
sweep to the fiery serpents, during
which many had time to hide behind

Review OF September LIST.

A Berlin letter TO the Baltimore
Americdn says: Yesterday, through
the courtesy OF Mr.. Won Verson, a gen.
tlemnn well known in Baltimore So
ciety, an excellent position ia the front
ranks had for seeing the parade. Such
sight l never saw before, nor am
likely to see again during my life.
There We're 3d. O0 men-picked men at
that-and they did, indeed, look for
midablc upon their spirited horses.
Each lance had long steel point and
streamer, and in their perfect lines, az
far as the eye could reach, could one see
this sea of glistening points. 1t was a
beautiful day, and as the sun shone
out on the glittering arms and gaudy
uniforms 1t was a scene TO be remem-
bered. At least 1900 men were on
horses, each one looking like racer.
How the sun shOne upon the cuirass,
sabre, and spear, and with what roar
did they come by. As looked up the
long stretch and saw this mighty sea Of
spear-L pints, and all coming down upon
he, for the first time realized what q
truly awful thing war was. The whole
force fled past at trot. Next came
regiment after regiment OF soldiers.
each about 1900 strong Massel in
dense Poiid squares. and with glisten-
irg bayonets, they looked like living
forests Of steel. Such marching
never saw. They came by with from
sixty to ono hundred men in
single line, and every one Of
them in perfect line and step, the very
embodiment Of all that was powerful.
Last of all came battery after battery,
al at trot aud Rubbing over tho
ground like distant thunder. OF all
arms, infantry, cavalry, AMI artillery,
the cavalry was especially fine. They
were OF four distinct sorts. First in the
procession came the cuirassiers, in
white uniforms, brass breast plates, and
helmets. OF these there were about
1900 mounted on beautiful horses, and,
in truth, they looked like knights Of
old. Then came the hussars, ia corded
jackets of red md brown. OF these
there were about 1900. All mounted
on beautiful horses came. the dragons,
about the same number aud last,
and most important of all, came
the uhlans, or lancers, the most
seryiceable part Of the German
army. / think any Frenchman who
saw this wonderful sight might well
b we been disheartened. The number
OF foreign officers present-English,
French, Japanese, Turks-was some
thing amazing. Another astounding
feature of tho parade was the number
Of caniages--ten thousand Of them, at
least-and, thanks to the efficient POI
lice, not Itch or fight occurred.
Every other man is policeman, conse-
quenily one never hears Of riots or
fights in the street. We can learn
much from this Old World. My views
Of the Germans have changed. They
are more like us than / ever thought
they were, and il you were in the
streets Of Berlin you might imagine
you were in New York.
